Question

Sujeet stayed in a hotel for $3$ days. The room rent was$₹5500$ per day. He had to pay a luxury tax of $8\%$ per day on the room rent. How much did he pay in all three days stay?

Answer 1

• Step 1 : Let's find the cost incurred to him for $3$ days stay excluding tax.

$\Rightarrow 5500\times 3=16500$

• Step 2 : Let's find the total tax paid by him for $3$ days

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow 16500\times \frac{8}{100} \\ =165\times 8=1320 \end{gathered}$$

Therefore, total cost incurred to him is

$$\begin{gathered} =16500+1320 \\ =17820 \end{gathered}$$
